[Intro: Driving, rhythmic bassline with cinematic, echoing percussion] [Verse 1: Female Vocal] Packed a single suitcase in the dead of night Leaving the city before the morning light The engine is humming, the tracks are cold A story of escape that we bought and sold I don't know the destination, I don't really care As long as I can breathe outside this heavy air [Verse 2: Male Vocal] I bought the tickets with my very last dime Running from the shadows, running from time I sit beside you in the velvet seat Watching the blur of the broken street The rhythmic metal clanking soothes my brain Two desperate lovers on a runaway train [Pre-Chorus: Both] The velocity is rising, the past is shrinking down We’re burning all the bridges to our hometown [Chorus: Both] We're on a runaway train to nowhere Tangling our fingers in the midnight air We traded our salvation for a ticket to ride With nothing but our demons sitting by our side Faster and faster into the dark unknown We’ve never felt so free, we’ve never felt so alone [Instrumental Interlude: Moody synth-pop melody with building cinematic drums] [Verse 3: Female Vocal] The landscape is melting like a watercolor painting The ghosts of our past are slowly fading [Male Vocal] But no matter how far or how fast we go We still carry the poison, moving slow [Pre-Chorus: Both] The velocity is rising, the past is shrinking down We’re burning all the bridges to our hometown [Chorus: Both] We're on a runaway train to nowhere Tangling our fingers in the midnight air We traded our salvation for a ticket to ride With nothing but our demons sitting by our side Faster and faster into the dark unknown We’ve never felt so free, we’ve never felt so alone [Bridge: Both] [Female Vocal] Will we crash? [Male Vocal] Will we fly? [Both] A spectacular way for a romance to die. Sparks on the iron, fire in the wheel Tell me right now that this is real. [Outro: Both] Runaway train... [Female Vocal]: Keep moving on. [Male Vocal]: Until we're gone. [Both]: Into the void. [Fading Outro: Train track rhythms dissolving into a wash of synth reverb] [End]
